Rob:
I also find it interesting to watch the kids that my son played LL with. His all-star team has been very successful moving on to play not only baseball but other sports.
Of the 12 kids (I know where 9 are today) on his LL allstar team, they have gone on to impressive schools and great athletic achievements.
C - Basketball - Penn
1st - Baseball - Trinity
2nd - Football - Stanford
SS - Tennis - Navel Academy
3rd - Baseball - Brown
LF - Baseball - Hamilton College
CF - Crew - Yale
RF - Rugby - UCLA
P - Baseball - Portland
When these kids played ball as LLers they were not just athletic, they worked incredibly hard both as a team and as individuals. I always believed that their LL all-star experience was their entree into higher more competitive athletics and academics.
